The policy stresses the importance of involving the whole school community - pupils, parents and all the staff in the school. So if you or your child have a concern about bullying you should speak to someone at school. It can be the headteacher, the class teacher, a classroom assistant, or in some schools, a buddy or playground friend that is an older pupil. The important thing is to speak to someone who can help change things. That is most likely to be someone at school.
